The science of memories has been pursued and studied since the days of ancient Greece and Aristotle. Today, research ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

The field of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) and lipid membrane systems has witnessed substantial progress in recent years. DIBs are engineered lipid bilayers formed at the contact points of aqueous ...

Lipids are the fatty molecules that make up cellular membranes, creating a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Until recently, scientists believed antibodies couldn't ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Lipid nanoparticles address key drug delivery challenges, including immune evasion, toxicity, and regulatory approval.

Thought LeadersMichael GirgisAssistant Professor at the Bioengineering departmentGeorge Mason University Get ready to explore the fascinating world of lipid nanoparticles in the latest episode of omg ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

A study team (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology found a phenomenon in which particular lipids were ...
